Is it possible to impregnate the universe with life?

Imagine we sent up a load of cryopreserved cockroaches, spiders, bacteria and stuff into space and shot it into all directions in hope of it landing somewhere and thriving?

Imagine in 42 billion years time. Star-Trek could actually be real with the amount of life we will have spewed out to distant planets and even other galaxies.

How would the life survive the billions of years trip in a sealed container without any form of energy such as sunlight?

If something's had all the heat taken out doesn't that mean it has no energy anyway?

I'm sure everyone's seen those videos where they freeze a housefly. Just have a huge ice cube and shoot it towards deep space, when it hits something or lands somewhere ice will melt, therefore reanimating a load of flies which will proceed to mate, eat each other and potentially thrive.
 
What will they eat on their triumphant arrival on their new home planet?

They will eat half of all their offspring. The offspring will then eat half of their offspring and maybe their parents and some of their old uncles and aunts too.
